Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
